As the focal point in the United Nations system for investment and technology, and building on 30 years of experience in these areas, UNCTAD, through its Division on Investment, Technology and Enterprise Development (DITE), promotes understanding, and helps build consensus on matters related to foreign direct investment (FDI), transfer of technology and development. DITE also assists developing countries to attract and benefit from FDI in building their productive capacities and international competitiveness. The emphasis is on an integrated policy approach to investment, technological capacity building and enterprise development.
